I did not realize it was WW2 era as I could not read the writing at the time of purchase but the price was right. After applying some oil then scotchbrite I was able to read some of the marking. Is this of WW2 style marking? It is hard to read as there is some pitting and very noticeable ridges from the lathe? Machining process? Under magnification glass it reads, "Lot 106-69-1942 LET 155 MM M101". There is also a Flaming Bomb logo below the driving bands and four weight stamping dots at the nose. What do you think, WW2?...( I know, even tho it says -1942 who knows what it means).....added, forgot, four 1/4 in holes are drilled in the center body and stamped near a hole " X20 R".

Mon, 12 Feb 2018 17:24:09 GMTThe probability that the paint and markings on this projectile are original is very high as I know its origin. The weight class is "R3" rather than the normal Roman numeral "III". I also love the sloppy "FES". This one sits in a KwK 40 case. It is also interesting to note the wide variety of steel qualities used in these. This one has a very high chrome content making very much like stainless steel.

Is it from a 17pdr, 20pdr or a 105mm please???
Thanks, regards Ozzi.

The question would be if the fuze well has been cut back for possibly an M61 fuze or if the M2 Time Mechanical fuze would be what is needed. I don't have any info on the M2 fuze. The OAL of the round is 14", 105mm dia, and the rotating band checks out at the 1.42". The thread pitch in the fuze well is 2" x 12 TPI NF. There is a hole in the nose that would seem to be a set screw hole. I'm going to have to replace the base closure disk. Any thoughts? Thanks, Bruce.

Interesting and not very common french practice rounds from 20's.
Body of 81mm HE frag projectile model 1918 were reused for practice (empty) with fins model 24/27 and a special gaine with spotting charge (top adapter for fuze is missing).
Originaly the HE model was fitted with fins similar to early British 3in stockes.
Internal frag is visible.
I noticed two different sizes for bourrelet (?)

Mon, 05 Feb 2018 00:10:43 GMTHere's the next in line for projects simply because the pitting on it was minor and I could get it painted and restored with an minimum of time. It is the U.S. 90mm T91 HE round. As soon as the paint cures, I and match it with the proper 90mm casing. Can't remember the T number for it since I don't have my pubs out. I have a M557 in it for now until I can get a M51 series. The rotating bands are made of sintered iron and are the natural color after bead blasting. Turned out fair, but I rushed the painting and then the stamping. Might re-paint it. Cheers, Bruce.

Attachment 140753...Hello,

I know proof shots for artillery (called "boulet d'épreuve" in french) but what means exactly the designation "slug" ?
Is it a proof round for special test ?
Why this 90mm slug for Recoilless Rifle is so strange ?
